With the size of Carolina being over 300 megs, it seems like a small thing like adding fd0 as a device and an app for formatting floppies would not add that much size to it.
And there are still people that find a floppy useful.
Is not Wake Pup made for making a floppy to boot Puppy?

I am going to wait a few days before downloading the ISO as it may be in the process of being uploaded and I would not want to get a partial file what with my slow internet speed of 1.5mbs.

Just curious, how did you choose the name? I live in North Carolina USA and I'm chuckling over the location matchup.

The Carolina breed is a wild breed from the Eastern United States, commonly know as the "American Dingo". It has a very old lineage, but wasn't discovered until the 1970's. Here's an article from Wikipedia about the Carolina breed. Ironically, the name for the distro was suggested by an Australian.

By the way, I'd be very curious to hear how 'lina runs on your think pad

No it's not a typo, pup-volume-monitor-0.1.7: Lightweight drive management.

I reported there was a problem with the pup-volume-monitor to akash_rawal, he kindly rewrote it,
this as fixed problems with unmounting and applications crashing while mounting drives.

Any chance of getting this in the Saluki repository if it's applicable? I'd be glad to test it.

I can't run Carolina as it's PAE and the flag checking in syslinux or Grub4dos won't let me even though it will run on my Pentium M boxes._________________Pups currently in kennel X-slacko 4.2 and X-tahr 2.0 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupXenial and X-slacko 4.2 for me. All good pups indeed.

Thanks elroy. Installed and running in Saluki 023. So far so good. It seems to have cleaned up the mount/unmount behavior (I usually do it entirely within Thunar now). I'll continue to use it._________________Pups currently in kennel X-slacko 4.2 and X-tahr 2.0 for my users; LxPupSc, LxPupXenial and X-slacko 4.2 for me. All good pups indeed.

could you apply this patch for 845 users? or does it interfere with other graphics cards

I wouldn't think it'd work. Carolina uses the PAE 3.2.13 Linux kernel. You would have to apply the patch to the correct kernel sources and recompile a custom kernel in order to accommodate this. You could do that, and then change the kernel out using the custom-builder in either Saluki or Carolina. At present, Carolina won't be officially supporting other kernels.

Carolina's target audience is newer users, and newer computers. While we'd like to accommodate everyone, and every situation, that just isn't possible.Last edited by elroy on Fri 05 Oct 2012, 13:38; edited 1 time in total
